Write equivalent fractions (Y4)
Equivalent Fractions have the same value, even though they may look different.
These fractions are really the same:
1
2
=
2
4
=
4
8
Why are they the same? Because when you multiply or divide both the top and bottom by the same number, the
fraction keeps it's value.
The rule to remember is:
"Change the bottom using multiply or divide,
And the same to the top must be applied"
Equivalent fractions can be represented using a variety of models:

Recognise mixed numbers & fractions & convert from one to another. (Y5)
You can use either an improper fraction or a mixed fraction to show the same amount.
For example 1 3/4 = 7/4, as shown here:
Converting mixed numbers to improper fractions:
To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, follow these steps:



Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.
Add that to the numerator
Write that result on top of the denominator.
Example: Convert 3 2/5 to an improper fraction.
Multiply the whole number by the denominator:
3 × 5 = 15
Add the numerator to that:
15 + 2 = 17
Then write that down above the denominator, like this:
17

Converting improper fractions to mixed numbers:
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed fraction, follow these steps:



Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Write down the whole number answer
Then write down any remainder above the denominator.
Example: Convert 11/4 to a mixed fraction.
Divide:
11 ÷ 4 = 2 with a remainder of 3
Hunters Hall Primary –Maths Planning Guidance
Write down the 2 and then write down the remainder (3) above the
denominator (4), like this:
